"Yah, who do you think you are?" Seungkwan asked, corner of his lip lifting up as he stared down at Chan who sitting in front seat. "Future of kpop." Chan replied running his fingers through his hair. "Aish-" Seungkwan leaned forward with his fisted palm ready to hit him but was stopped by Jeonghan sitting beside him.

"Yah geumanhae both of you." Jeonghan scolded pulling back Seungkwan to his seat. "Why are you at it so early? The day isn't even started." Jeonghan sighed. Maybe going out for drinks night before shoot was a bad idea; his head was killing him. And his younger members were not helping at all. "What's with you today? You look like you woke on wrong side of the bed." Chan said earning another sigh from him. "Unlike this one. Wonwoo hyung looks unusually happy. Did something happened yesterday, hyung?" He asked looking at the unmovable smile on Wonwoo's face.

"Eo?" Wonwoo looked up from his phone the grin unaffected. "Did you say something?" He asked glancing at his members.

"Mwoya...what is happening hyung?" Seungkwan leaned forward to get a closer look at him. "Wah he really can't hide it?" Seungkwan said looking at his grin. "Why do you look so happy today?" He asked glancing at him and then his phone. Huh? Who's that? Seungkwan narrowed his eyes get a better look at the picture when Wonwoo quickly locked his screen.

"Waeyo? I can't be happy?" Wonwoo asked putting away his phone. "Ani...you can be happy." Seungkwan pouted going back to his seat. "I was just wondering." Wonwoo hummed once again the grin taking over his face.

"Well, at least someone is happy." Jeonghan grumbled. "Arghh my head is killing me." He groaned holding his head. Chan turned around and snorted. "And they say I am the drunkard. Who told you drink before shoot?"

"Mwo? You went out for drinks? Nugu lang? (With whom?)" Seungkwan asked glancing at Jeonghan. "Coups and Ru-" Jeonghan was cut short when door for passenger's and drivers seat opened. Think of devil and devil shall appear.

"Hello boys! I hope you don't mind me riding with you today." Rumi grinned at idols while making herself comfortable in passenger's seat. "We do. Will you get off?" Chan said. "Ani." Rumi grinned at him earning a scoff. "Good morning Seungkwan-ssi, Jeonghan-ssi." She greeted looking at the very back of the car and then Chan and beside him. "Good morning Wonwoo-ssi..." A shy smile taking over her face. "Good morning." Wonwoo shyly greeted back.

"And what about me?" Chan pushed his head in her view. Rumi tsked rolling her head. "Manager-nim, let's get going." Rumi said ignoring the little one. "Wahh, you are quite biased noona." Chan expressed leaning back in seat as their manager pulled out of the driveway. "You receive what you give." Rumi commented earning agreement from the backseat. Chan tsked crossing his arms. Rumi smiled glancing at Chan through rear-view mirror. "Jeonghan-ssi are you okay there? You don't look good." Rumi asked turning to look back at him. Manager also glanced at him worriedly.

"Jeonghan-ah, gwenchana?" He asked glancing at him through rear-view mirror. Jeonghan nodded his head. "Na gwenchana, just a little hungover." Jeonghan assured. "Yah, how do you look okay? Don't you get hangovers?" He asked looking at Rumi who grinned and shook her head. "No. I pass out and the night before never happened to me. No headaches, nothing at all."

"De?!" Everyone turned to look at Wonwoo, who realised he had reacted too overly. "Umm-" He cleared his throat looking away. "I mean- you said the night before never happened, does that mean you don't remember anything?" Wonwoo asked worriedly, if it's true then it means Rumi-ssi doesn't remember what happened between-

"Wahh dedanada. I wish I also had such habits." Chan sighed remembering the flashes of his drunk self. "Ah! Don't think about it." He shook his head. "By the way how come you went out with them while rejecting me?" He asked narrowing his eyes at Rumi.

Rumi shrugged her shoulders. "Because I wanted to." She teased as Chan scoffed again mimicking her. Rumi chuckled. "I was busy when you invited me." Rumi reasoned looking back at him. Chan hummed with a pout on his face.

"Tsk. Lucky you. I feel like my head is splitting apart." Jeonghan groaned while holding his head. "Why did we think it was a good idea? Yah you really don't remember what happened yesterday? What about your face-"

"Eh Jeonghan-ssi, I wasn't that drunk to completely black out." Rumi cut him off. "I am fine." She said glancing at the younger ones and then at Jeonghan who nodded in understanding. It is better if less people know about what happened last night. "Why don't you take a nap, we have time to reach the site, right manager-nim?" Rumi said looking at manager who nodded his head in answer. Rest of the ride was silent as others too preferred to rest while they could, apart from Wonwoo who kept glancing at Rumi in front seat. Rumi furrowed her eyebrows, what was wrong? Does Wonwoo-ssi has something to say? Rumi wanted to ask him but preferred not with presence to several ears.

Soon they arrived at the venue, Rumi thanked the manager for driving and got off to retrieved the equipment from trunk which her co-worker had forgotten. She was supposed to be managing the site but as usual she was running around controlling the damage. "Good thing I caught a ride with them or else he bochka kasa aanar hoti me? (how was I going bring this?)" Rumi muttered to herself lifting up the heavy suitcase, a hand appeared helping her take down the suitcase. "Eo? Jeonghan-ssi gomawoyo." Rumi bowed her head in thanks. "Are you feeling alright now?" She asked placing down the suitcase beside.

Jeonghan hummed nodding his head. "Little better." He answered and looked around before turning back to Rumi. "What about you? Are you feeling good? How's your wound, let me see?" He asked. Rumi smiled and nodded her head. "It's all good Jeonghan-ssi." She said tucking her hair behind her cheek and showing her cheek. Jeonghan nodded getting a good look. "It does look better than last night."

"It is. I told you, it's gonna be alright. My body just over reacts sometimes. A little scratch is nothing." Rumi said with a scoff. "Still, it's better to be cautious. You should have a professional check it out though." Rumi rolled her eyes ready to shrug off his worries when a booming voice called her name.

"Yah Rumi-ya!"

Both of them glanced the interrupter striding towards them. "Uh-huh." Rumi muttered quickly grabbing the suitcase. "Jeonghan-ssi, I've got to get going. Mian, see you around!" She quickly bided her byes. Jeonghan opened and closed his mouth, wasn't she barely able to lift that suitcase? He thought watching her carry it over her shoulders like those hard labourers. "Yah! Yah!" Seungcheol tried to stop her but she reasoned with being busy and will take later. "She's avoiding me isn't she?" Seungcheol asked standing by Jeonghan. "Umm." Jeonghan glanced at him and then at Rumi.

"Who's avoiding you?" Chan asked looking at his older brothers. "No one." Seungcheol snapped crossing his arms. Chan tsked at him before walking away. "If your are worried about her; she's fine." Jeonghan assured patting Seungcheol arm. "Of course, she's fine." Seungcheol scoffed uncrossing his arms and walking away. Jeonghan once again sighed holding his head.

Rumi had been successful in avoiding the leader. The idol group was having their shoot for the concept photo for their upcoming album. Currently, they were in boxing ring doing their best pretending to be pro boxer. Rumi scoffed as Hoshi tried provoking her with his glove covered fist. Rumi just rolled her eyes in responses and turned her attention to someone else. "Awww." Rumi quickly looked around if someone had heard her, thankfully no one did. Wonwoo-ssi...she dizzily smiled looking at Wonwoo who was posing for the photos. "He looks soo cute." She muttered. "Who does?"

"Wonwoo-ssi..." Rumi replied before snapping out of it. "Ah! Leader-nim." She quickly straightened up and bowed towards him. Seungcheol narrowed his eyes ready to question her. "Ha! I'm so sorry Leader-nim but I suddenly remembered that I had something to cross-check. Excuse me." She gave him a forced smile and quickly ran off. "Yah! Eodiga?! You can't run away from me forever!" Seungcheol shouted watching her duck her head and run away.

"What is going on..?" Wonwoo whispered to himself with a pout. She was just here watching and now she's gone. I wanted to talk with her but-

"Wonwoo-ssi?"

"De Rumi-ssi-" Wonwoo pressed his lips together. Gah! Idiot! He had unconsciously called out her name. "I mean ye?" He politely smiled at the photographer. The photographer smiled back. "Let's continue." Wonwoo nodded and went back to posing.

Rumi hummed to herself while sipping on her instant coffee. This is great, seniority culture. Rumi walked around the set munching on cream bun her junior had treated her with. "Hm? What are they doing?" Rumi muttered. Chan and Hoshi were half naked posing in front of full-length mirror. "Khe!" Rumi snorted.

"Woo. Nice." Hoshi said feeling Chan's back muscles. "Feel mine, feel mine." He said showing and flexing his back. "They are good." Chan nodded complimenting. "Jihoonie let me see yours." Hoshi turned towards Woozi and urged him to take off costume.

"Aniya. Aniya we'll get scolded." Jihoon shook his head. "It's fine, we are already done with our shoot right?" Hoshi persuaded. Jihoon thought for few seconds and gave in. "Aarso." He pulled over his costume revealing his bulked-up body. Rumi whistled nodding her head in appreciation. Jihoon checked himself out in the mirror. "Wah Jihoon-ssi, you've got quite good muscles there." Rumi said attracting the boys attention.

"Mwoya? Were you peeping at us like a pervert?" Chan accused jokingly while covering his chest. Rumi gave him a look. "As if there is something to look at?" She said looking him up and down. Snickers were heard from background, the staff members were clearly enjoying the banter. "While on other hand, Jihoon-ssi..." She gave thumbs up pointing towards his arms. Jihoon shyly smiled and thanked her, feeling somewhat good getting complimented by her.

"What about mine?" Hoshi said flexing his own biceps. Rumi stared at him while pushing the last bit of her bread in her mouth and nodded her head. "Mwo, just a nod?" He asked. "Eo." Rumi nodded again. "Aish, yah carats love these babies okay?" Rumi furrowed her eyebrows. "Nugu?" She asked glancing at Jihoon who mouth 'Our fans', trying to control his laughter. "Do you know how many would kill to look at this?" Hoshi taunted.

Rumi sipped her coffee. "Good for you then." She nodded again. "I have seen better." Hoshi scoffed deliberately crossing his arms. Rumi snorted. "Yah, doing that won't make them look good." Rumi taunted. "I have better than yours." Rumi teased.

Hoshi started laughing out loud. "Mwo?" He laughed glancing at her and his brothers. "She says she has better than mine. Yah, have you looked at yourself? Those dangling long things by your sides are better than mine?" Hoshi riled her up with each step he took near her. "Yah, are you sure you wanna do this?" Rumi warned, challenge her was like showing red cloth to a bull. Hoshi taunted her with a smirk. Rumi's eyes twitched as she crushed her paper cup tossed it in corner. Her gaze not moving from Hoshi's as she flicked her open shirt back and removed her arms from the sleeves.

"Jamkkanman! Noona what are you doing?" Chan worriedly said trying to stop her when the shirt was slapped across his face. Chan sighed pulling down the shirt to see Rumi had rolled up her t-shirt sleeve and was flexing her arm muscles. Oh's and ah's were heard from around. Chan himself had his mouth open.

Rumi smirked. "Aren't they better than yours?" She asked to stunned looking Hoshi. "Eo." He nodded his head while his hand moved to feel them. "Wahhh...so hard." He muttered pressing them. "How come? You don't look like you have them?" He asked feeling her other arm. Rumi snorted again. "Because they are built from hard labour and not from work out. And female body normally doesn't look ripped like males." Rumi explained looking at herself in the mirror and nodding to herself. I still have it, she thought.

"Hard labour? As if you used to unload potato sacks?" Chan snorted. "Eo. I used." Rumi replied. "Jinja?" Chan looked at her in surprise to which Rumi hummed and nodded her head.

"Igae mwoya?" Mingyu entered looking at his half naked members and Rumi with rolled sleeve. "What are you doing?" He asked to Hoshi who had his mouth open and hands feeling Rumi's arms. Is this even okay? How is this okay? Why is Rumi-ssi letting him do that? "Ah! Mingyu hyung come here, come here." Chan him over. "Show yours, let's see who has better." He said trying to undress Mingyu's jacket. "Mwo? Mwo! Mwo?!" Mingyu covered his chest feeling embarrassed.

Hoshi tsked. "Why are you being shy? We are comparing our biceps. Until now Rumi's got best." Hoshi said tapping Rumi's bicep, who winked flexing them. Mingyu sighed. "There is something wrong with this pair, really." He muttered shaking his head whilst removing his jacket. "Eoooo chowa!!" Hoshi exclaimed as Mingyu started flexing his own muscles.

Suddenly both Mingyu and Rumi were having a posing competition while boys and staff members cheered them on. If one didn't know better they would've thought they were in body building competition arena and not a filming site. "Chowa hyung! One more, one more." Chan cheered. Mingyu feeling pumped up did a front double bicep pose, his body forming a 'x' shape while his chest puffing out. Rumi copied the same pose and glanced at Mingyu, her eyes narrowing on his chest. "Wah." She whispered as moving to look down at hers. They are definitely bigger than mine. She thought looking up when her eyes met Hoshi's. Oh, she was caught. Both of them stared at each other for few seconds before they burst out laughing.

Others turned to look at them wondering what was wrong with this pair now. Why are they laughing like some crackheads while holding each other's hands. "What is it now?" Chan asked looking at them. Hoshi shook his head while wiping his eyes which had started to watered. "Nothing. Nothing." He laughed shaking his head. "No wonder these two get along." Jihoon commented shaking his own head with little smile on his face. It wasn't just Hoshi who had caught her.

Mingyu and Chan stared at him wondering what he meant. Soon after the crackheads stopped but would snicker every now and then when their eyes met. "I didn't know Rumi-ssi worked out." Mingyu said putting on his jacket as Rumi fixed her sleeves. "I do sometimes." Rumi smiled answering him.

One of the staff members asked pointing towards her arms. "Rumi, what happened?" Rumi looked at her arms checking if something was on it. "Huh? Where? What?" She asked looking at the stylist who had questioned her. "Umm...the marks." Rumi looked down at them. "Ahh these...I got them from my clumsiness." Rumi smiled. Well, they were due to her recklessness but not the clumsiness they thought of. "It's nothing." Rumi said as Chan handed her shirt, she smiled thanking while putting it on.

"What are you guys naked?"
